Chrono Trigger
Format: Super NES
Genre: RPG adventure
Review: This classic title is one of the best RPGs of all time. The story begins during a festival in a peaceful medieval kingdom, but adventure soon beckons when mysterious portals through time start to appear. Unlike many RPGs which have annoying random battles, in this game you can actually see the enemies on the field before you encounter them. This means you won't have to fight the same enemies again unless you revisit an area, and also that battles are seamlessly integrated into the gameplay while maintaining a traditional turn-based system. Each character has their own unique range of abilities which can be learned one at a time through experience. Better still, characters can combine some of their abilities during battle for even more powerful effects. A captivating experience in terms of graphics, sound, story, gameplay and challenge.

Question! Is that Chrono Trigger is the same game as Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross on PSX/PS1?

Chrono Cross is the sequel, the original was also rereleased on the Ps1 though.

Gargoyle's Quest II
Format: NES
Genre: Platform adventure/RPG
Review: Following the cult success of the Game Boy original (included below as a bonus), Firebrand returns in one of the last and best titles to be released for the Nintendo NES. All the action takes place in 4-way scrolling platform levels, each full of monsters and obstacles. What sets Gargoyle's Quest apart from the rest is Firebrand's attributes: wings which allow him to fly briefly and claws that let him cling to the side of walls. This makes for some fairly inventive level design that would certainly be a problem for Mario or Mega Man. Firebrand tackles enemies with a fire projectile that can be upgraded during the game like his other abilities. Aside from the action there is also an overhead-view RPG side to the game, but this is really just a nice way of unfolding the story. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3
Format: Super NES
Genre: Platformer
The famous ape of the video game industry was reborn as the hero of Donkey Kong Country, a ground-breaking platformer with lush backdrops and amazing animation, accompanied by music that's both fun and highly atmospheric. You take control of either Donkey Kong or his sidekick Diddy, each with their own characteristics, and can switch between them anytime assuming you have both. This buddy system essentially means you can survive one hit before losing a life. Gameplay is simple and fluid, and dealing with enemies is usually as simple as jumping on them or doing a roll attack. There are many different types though so not all are so easy. Two sequels followed with a number of enhancements and similar gameplay, new ape characters and hidden levels. Later stages get pretty inventive and require speed and quick reflexes, so don't be led into a false sense of security by the earlier levels. Overall these are 3 of the best platform games you're ever likely to play.

Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World
platform: Super NES
Genre: Platformer
The ultimate collection of classic Super Mario games, this is one package that will keep you busy for a long time. Included are the original Super Mario Bros, the sequel SMB2 (which was actually adopted into the series), the hugely popular SMB3 and the intensely challenging Lost Levels which plays like an expert version of the original game. All of the above have been given a complete graphical overhaul on the original NES versions, which is a real treat for anyone who's already played those. The SNES game Super Mario World is also included and is the icing on the cake. Unmissable for any fan of classic games.

Ragnorak: The Legend Of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons
Format: Game Boy Color
Genre: Overhead-view adventure.
Review: The classic Zelda series continues with these perfectly-designed handheld titles. Battle your way through two distinct overworks and solve the mysteries of time and the elements to gain access to a multitude of dungeons, each full of monsters and devious puzzles. Only you as Link can restore peace and order to the land and defeat the dark antagonist! These games will keep you enthralled for days and are unmissable for anyone with a compatible mobile device.
